Gorkha Trekking is one of the remote trekking destinations in Nepal. Trekking at lower elevations in subtropical and tropical regions is easy. Gorkha Trekking covers three different districts: Nuwakot, Dhading, and Gorkha. The district of Gorkha was an ancient kingdom from which unified Nepal began, so Gorkha is one of Nepal's historical places. Gurkhas (the soldiers) are the predominant group of brave soldiers from this state. Gorkha trekking can be perfect for those interested in rural and non-touristic areas of Nepal. It is non-commercial trekking, so you may be the only tourist in this area for a few days. Gorkha Trekking is one of the budget trekking options in Nepal.
Gorkha Trekking begins in Trisuli ( Nuwakot) and ends in Gorkha. For Gorkha trekking, you will cross several lovely, small, and traditional villages, rivers, valleys, and viewpoints. Through Gorkha trekking, you will gain valuable experience in rural Nepal. Green hills, big mountains, rice fields, beautiful valleys, rivers, local art and architecture, historical places, temples, tanks, dense forests, traditional culture, dress, and ornaments are the major attractions of this trek. Many wildlife species, including birds, are also found along the Gorkha trek, living in the lower reaches of the trail. The walk leads through friendly, well-managed villages, Khahare, Arughat, and many more, as well as one of Nepal's big tar-Salyantar. Jyamrung and Gorkha are the best places to view snowcaps. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Himalayan ranges can be seen from the Gorkha Trekking trail. You can stop in some villages, swim in nice clean water, and fish. You will enjoy the trek, staying with locals, and eating locally grown organic foods.
